4️⃣ Today is Antoine Walker's 49th birthday. While he is best known for wearing #8, Walker wore #88 when he returned to the Celtics in 2005. There are seven (7) active players who have worn #88 at some point of their NBA careers. Name... four of them.

👉🏽 Gallinari didn't play in the NBA last year but he hasn't retired —— and he's still hooping. In fact, he just led Vaqueros de Bayamón to the Baloncesto Superior Nacional title (alongside JaVale McGee no less).
5️⃣ There are 19 active NBA players with 12 or more career (regular season) triple-doubles. How many were not born in the United States?

👉🏽 Domantas Sabonis was a popular guess but he was born in Portland, Oregon, while his dad was playing for the Trail Blazers.
That's it that's all that's a wrap. If you killed it, bully to you. Tell your friends hither and yon about the greatness of Oddball. If you got killed, please know there will be many more opportunities to regain your family's honour in the near future —— but until then you should be studying the blade.
